Cash Cow United

[Sheffsteel]

The clubs money is his money. When CW has brought us in £250m us as fans think he’s brought that for the club. In reality the money is the Princes to do as he wishes.

There is no benefit to sufc for these clubs.

The more successful United are....then the more money the Prince makes.

He’s the same as every owner.......he wants his club to be in the PL so he can earn the prestige and money.
I don’t really understand your point....It‘s normal business.....or are you saying football clubs should go back to being amateur and not run as businesses?

Also even owning other clubs around the world isn‘t that unusual. Man City are currently one of the best teams in the world and their City Football Group own or part own 9 other clubs around the world in Australian, Belgium, Uruguay, USA, France, India, Italy, China and Japan.

It’s done them any harm or caused any distraction......maybe the Prince is trying to copy the highly successful Man City model.

This simple argument that Chris brought in £250m all on his lonesome for the Prince to waste of football frippery needs to be countered by what he’s cost him after this shit show of a season.

Which of course is an equally daft argument.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Have a go at McCabe check,
Have a go at Lundstram check
Have a go at the Prince check
Have a go at Wilder check

Whose next, Heckingbottom? Knill? Cleaning lady?

When does it end

 

[Yogi]

Until he bought into our club for a quid I doubt that the Prince knew United existed
Now he has added us to his portfolio of clubs and is said to be skint
I wish that we had an Owner whose sole sporting interest was the Blades
What is it that attracts foreigners to our clubs? Do they have the best interest of the club at heart, or is thee another reason that escapes me?

I think there’s an inherent hole in your argument here and that is why would he buy other football clubs for none footballing reasons and what would they be. Football as a general rule is a loss making business now without diving into their accounts I don’t know about beerschot maybe they turn a profit in the pro league but chateroux will not be turning anything like a profit in the french none league and starting a new team in India would seem like a money pit right now rather than an avenue to make money. I think you can certainly question whether it’s a wise allocation of resources only time will tell but I don’t think he’s acquiring clubs for anything other than footballing reasons.

I feel we've lost a part of our USP with Wilder going, he made us a bit different I think. Maybe the surprise is that he lasted as long as he did. From the horses mouth, CW rang up KM after the court case to tell him he was going to resign, and Kev persuaded him to stay on and take SUFC up.

We’d already been promoted when the court case ended in September 2019. Where was “up” ?

 

[Roygbiv]

The hatred people have for The Prince based on what's actually happened so far is baffling. I can totally understand worrying about what his intentions may be but the genuine anger people are showing towards him is completely illogical based on his actual actions so far.

 

[Roygbiv]

Up to the moon. He wanted us to be the first team to play in space but The Prince wouldn't fund it which is why Wilder eventually walked.

Did he also persuade him to sign a 5 year contact a few months later?

They have paddles and the water is'nt shit creek...........yet.

Was he the first Premier League manager to walk in space?

 

[Trigger Blade]

Rather than cash cow United maybe a better title would be ‘Rich random bloke with a fleeting passion for New playthings United’

Now that he’s driven out the heart and soul of the club and seeks to bring in some cheap replacement that no one has ever heard of, he’ll lose what ever interest he had and we will become the old worn toy discarded in the corner as he spots something shinier to take an interest in.

Based only on his interviews and his actions so far, I don’t get the impression that his passion is fleeting, I think he intends to be around for quite some time.

Ive said all along when people started crowing how good Abdullah will be for our club and that they where happy to see McCabe go be carful what you wish for.An owner who cannot be bothered to attend games preferring to watch games on television,these owners haven't a clue about football ask him who John Harris or Ces Caldwell was and what they did for our club until he was introduced to TC he'd have walked straight past him he wouldn't have a clue.Now the talk is that he hasn't the money he said he had.......Brilliant

So what ?
Why is it that the fans of only one football club on the planet waffle this sort of romantic bollocks ?

We've had our local two Bob millionairres waffling this bollocks and running the club for generations, and pound for pound this club is the least succesful club in world football.

They all knew about Tony Currie and God knows who else, and they all knew how to manipulate a fanbase into believing failure was actually a good thing because the clubs traditions are all about failure, and they loved to preserve traditions.

They all knew how to spin failure into something positive because they'd already worked tirelessly to brainwash our fans into accepting it.

Fuck the clubs traditions, especially this clubs traditions.

This clubs traditions stink to high heaven, they wreak of small time, punching below our weight pathetic failure, that has been allowed to carry on for the last 50 or 60 years, held back by the local two Bob millionaires, whilst other traditionally smaller clubs left our club standing about with a thumb up its arse.

The Prince might not be the richest, but he's different to what we've had before, and if he can get rid of the chip butty, fourth class citizen culture that plagues this club he'll have done at least one good thing.

And on a seperate issue McCabe is the guy who started "United world" by buying or linking clubs in the footballing hotbeds of China and Hungary

Yes because the owner knowing who Cec Caldwell is would have guaranteed us premier league survival this season wouldn’t it?

 

[Sean Thornton]

He was good with clangers......

l’d be more impressed if he recognised Cec Coldwell.

 

[Jon Bon II]

There's no atmosphere at The Lane these days.

 

[Gimli]

Apologies Sean, clearly I wouldn’t make a very good owner of Sheffield United if I can’t even recognise how to spell the names of our legendary players.

I've seen HRH at more games than I saw McCabe and he's only been here a few years.

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

Thank God for people like Mr McCabe and HRH, if it wasn't for people like them, flawed or not, we would be playing Sheffield FC.....

 

[Sean Thornton]

I thought you’d just copied his spelling!

 

[Sean Thornton]

Since he moved back from Belgium he hardly missed. He was in the Copthorne pre and post match most games. And he did away games.

 

[sitwell]

Fuck the clubs traditions, especially this clubs traditions.

If thats the case just follow Man city or someone. This clubs traditions ,good and bad are why I love Utd.

Fair enough.

My initial post is still correct mind

 

[Brewster Cost £70 million]

I genuinely think some of our fans just hate the Prince coz he's s foreigner,I've seen it time and time again on Facebook and Twitter fans saying we don't want him we don't want foreign players we don't want to give players big contracts coz it will disrupt the rest of the squad well sorry if you want success sometimes you have to go abroad and offer big wages to players who are good enough,you can't expect to buy players to stay in the premier league to be on a similar wage as a bogle or a lowe.

 

[Sean Thornton]

JJ packed in watching United to play golf, although he still slagged the club off at every opportunity. He either came back because we were in the PL or his golf game was as shit as his interminable “opinions”.

Don't get this. Can you define your second paragraph? Where/when has PA driven out the heart and soul of the club? By all accounts he tried to keep the soul of the club together. It was others who decided to WALK and took the heart and soul with them.
Secondly, have you inside info now on this 'cheap replacement that no one has ever heard of', that PA is seeking?
I think your post lacks foundation and is somewhat premature in respect of the new appointment.

Let me get this straight. You spoke to Wilder( i.e. from the 'horses mouth') who he told you personally that McCabe stopped him from resigning after the court case in order to get us promoted? ( when we were already in the top league).

Secondly, what do believe our USP and which bit of that have we now lost due to Wilder leaving?
